📖 1. Cell as Basic Unit

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

Cell: The smallest structural and functional unit of life. It forms the basic building block of all living organisms, enabling them to perform essential life processes.

Structural unit: All living organisms are made up of cells. This means that the fundamental architecture of any organism is composed of one or more cells.

Functional unit: The cell is the smallest structure capable of performing basic life processes. It carries out functions necessary for survival, such as growth, reproduction, and response to the environment.

Cell theory: All organisms are made up of cells, and all cells arise only from pre-existing cells. This principle emphasizes the continuity of life through cell division and reproduction.
